Christmas Gift Ideas
Especially as Black Friday approaches, it is easy to be lead astray into buying things you don't need, won't use and can't afford - we've all done it. But this new method is the perfect way to stay on track when buying Christmas presents.
For those who aren't familiar, the idea is that you buy someone 4 gifts: something to wear, something they need, something they want and something to read. So whilst this makes the Christmas shopping easier for you, it's also a super personal and thoughtful way to gift - win, win!
Buy the tags here and you're halfway there.
Here are a few ideas for each of the categories, to suit a range of budgets:
WEAR
Slippers
Scarf (shop the Ivy & Stitch Personalised Scarf here)
Dressing Gown
Perfume/Aftershave
Jewellery
NEED
Replace somethings that's old or broken
Calendar/Diary (TKMaxx is a great place to get these)
Water bottle (this one from Amazon is a good one)
Apple air tag (https://www.apple.com/uk/airtag/)
Spa day voucher: Champneys is always a hit (https://www.champneys.com/gifts/)
WANT

Board game

I've just used this blog post as my own source of inspiration as my family will be getting 4 gifts each this year, using this method. There's something quite fun about this way of buying, knowing that all the presents are personal to them and that they'll actually use them. Let me know if you're planning on doing this too - and send any more ideas you have for any of the categories.
Happy Shopping!
